i have a cable modem and i have a server up and running but i want to have my friends download off of me. once they begin the download they say that they can only get up to 20kb/s. they also have cable, and we dont live that far from each other, and have the same cable provider, y is it that he can only get a max of 20kb/s when he should be getting like 70 - 100 kb/s?

Because your upload speed (Speed that the files go from your computer to the internet) is capped at 20kbs. It doesn't matter if he had the fastest connection in the world. The max speed from you to him is still 20kbs.

When you said 148kb/s do you mean "148 kigabits per second"? Because you want kigabytes per second it's 148/8 which is "18.5 kigabytes per second".(Which is darn close to 20kBs)

faskylineq, it your ISP is capping your UL. Check what your ISP is providing. For example for me, my ISP service is 1.5M/768K DSL which in turn will be like 170K average for DL and 70 - 80K UL. So my cap is at average at 70K or so. Taking my example, you get the general idea. Normally a cable user should have alot faster DL when compare to DSL user. Cable cap normally about 128K or 386K UL depending on which ISP you have and how generous they are. Cable line normally share by your community as a bandwidth. When all the people from your community start surfing, you have find yourself have pretty slow connection.
